In this episode, we dive deep into the disturbing true story of how the CIA and Harvard collaborated in the 1960s on secret psychological experiments — experiments so cruel and invasive they may have helped create one of America’s most notorious domestic terrorists: Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.
We explore how the CIA’s MKUltra program used hypnosis, LSD, and psychological torture on students under the guise of academic research, an...
In this episode, we unpack a fiery exchange between apologist Wes Huff and controversial professor Aman Hillman. Hillman, once a Baptist Sunday school teacher, now pushes bizarre theories about Jesus leading a drug-fueled cult and dying from venom instead of crucifixion. His claims — reinterpreting Christian texts through drugs, myths, and scandal — are challenged head-on by Wes, who dismantles Hillman’s arguments and exposes his m...
The hosts dive deep into the shocking closure of the Jeffrey Epstein case — despite years of promises, no client list, no names, no justice.

They challenge listeners to live with integrity and godly ambition even when the world feels dark.

In this powerful episode, the story of Brock Purdy — once laughed at as “Mr. Irrelevant,” the very last pick of the NFL draft — becomes a vivid picture of how God chooses the overlooked and extends mercy to the outsider. Ruslan walks through Purdy’s unlikely rise from underdog to NFL starter, tying it to Romans 9 and the truth that God’s mercy is not based on our status, pedigree, or works, but on His grace alone.
